2011 Bouchard Pere et Fils, Clos de Vougeot 750ml

JG94

There are only three barrels of the 2011 Clos Vougeot from Domaine Bouchard Père et Fils, which is unfortunate, as this is a beautiful bottle in the making. The deep and youthful nose wafts from the glass in a refined blend of red and black cherries, red plums, bonfires, coffee, gamebirds, a superb base of soil and a nice framing of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and complex, with a sappy core of fruit, suave tannins and absolutely stunning length and grip on the focused and still quite primary finish. This will be a magical Clos Vougeot in the fullness of time.
